How bad is it ? I've lost 70% of my volume. Top is fine for now. I've went to two dermatologists and they said they see some miniaturization above the forehead but you can't see anything with the naked eye.

It has thinned out quite a bit. Are you using anything such as minoxidil to combat the Alopecia?

Yes I started minox 2 weeks ago. No progress yet.

Minoxidil takes a lot longer than two weeks for any progress to be seen I believe.

Yeah I was told 3 months. My main problem is people that had the same told me they saw regular mpb/aa soon after. I don't really care about the sides

Maybe check into Finasteride as well. Did the Dermatologist recommend anything to you?

I went to 2 derms. One told me to take min 4 times a week and the other (supposed far more experienced) told me to take twice every day. Second one told me not to take finasteride as its very dangerous. I kinda want fin but im scared. My parents said no to fin too.

Maybe oral minoxidil is a better option for you. You could ask about that.

yeah ill make sure i ask about it. I got a minor heart condition though (some valve stuff), idk if it will matter.

Yes, that could be an issue. I have a heart murmur and decided not to use it. It can interfere with other medications so it is advisable to speak with your doctor and research the potential risks.
